First Constitutions of the Original Thirteen States, (Hardcover)

This is a collection of first Constitutions and includes a copy of the 1776 Constitution for the state of Connecticut which was miss-placed after its first printing in 1785. The author has also included chapters on the Sons of Liberty, the battles of Brooklyn and New York, The drafting of the Declaration and of the Articles of Confederation. It is a must have book for scholars, students, historians, and anyone who is interested in politics, government or the judiciary. in these documents are the real argument to support the separation of church and state because it was these first constitutions (1776-1780) that ended the institution of state church and not the Bill of Rights written 15 years later in 1791.
